hotel around TAKAYAMA, Ascend Hotel Collection

Loved everything about our stay at this hotel! Exceeded our expectations in every way. Firstly the hotel is beautiful, immaculately clean and in a perfect location. From the time you enter, the staff are exceedingly friendly, helpful and so kind. The checkin process is semi-automated but a wonderful and modern experience and staff guide you through it. The hotel has a beautiful aesthetic and attention to detail. Provides options for local activities and food, laundry services, smart TV. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. We used the onsen on site and what a delightful and calming experience. The laundry service was easy to use. They have washer/dryers so you don’t need to worry about switching your laundry between machines. We walked everywhere and found the hotel to be perfectly located and easy to find our way back. Can’t say enough nice things about our stay. The hotel is doing things right and has a modern approach that we enjoyed. Would definitely return to Takayama to stay at this hotel again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

The breakfast was amazing! We had the Japanese-style breakfast most days, but I had the Western-style one day and that was also good. The onsen was another highlight. It is indoors and on the basement level, but there is a nice Japanese garden outside the window. The lobby and style of the hotel is modern. The staff were friendly. Most had limited English, but they were always able to help with our questions. We also really enjoyed renting the electric bikes from the hotel. Takayama is a great town to bike around and the rental rate was very reasonable.

Big comfortable room, quiet, good beds. The location is perfect right next to the station. Very nice onseen including a private one you can rent out for 45 min for quite cheap price. Very nice loungewear and local shop promoting the region's products.

Just a short 2-3 minute walk away from the Takayama train station, this is really an awesome place to stay. After the limited express or bus, one can easily walk over the pathway to the hotel, which can be seen from afar. You will not miss the large sign on the top and the very nice brown orange coloured building. Upon entry, you will be greeted by very polite staff and a very pleasant environment. Check in process was such a nice one and we were given free gifts and also a personal bag for amenities. And there’s a free onsen available on the 2nd floor! Room was really superb and everything was in top notch quality. It was super easy to walk to nearby walking street and also around takayama. Highly highly recommend this place if you are going to Takayama.

Excellent staff and service. Easy to park at hotel which allow multiple entries and exits. Walking distance to most attractions and old town. They even serve hot soba on New Year Eve.
